Naa Koryoo (L) has been accussed of giving World Cup ticket meant for Agyare (R) to her husband
A constituency executive of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Awutu Senya East Constituency has alleged that Member of Parliament for the area, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, gave a World Cup travel slot meant for the constituency chairman to her husband.
The allegation has further deepened tensions within the constituency, where disagreements have reportedly emerged between the MP and the constituency chairman, Stephen Ofosu Agyare, over the distribution of benefits and opportunities allocated to the area.

The executive, identified as Kobby and said to be aligned with the chairman, made the claim during an interview on Obaatanpa Radio.
He accused the MP of sidelining the constituency chairman in the allocation of opportunities provided by the Presidency.
According to him, the Presidency allocated travel slots to constituency chairpersons to enable them to attend FIFA World Cup matches, but the opportunity designated for the Awutu Senya East chairman was allegedly redirected.
"There have been several slots allocated to the constituency, with the latest being the World Cup travel slot. I am a constituency executive member, but I was not given one. None of the members at my branch received a slot," he alleged.
He explained that Members of Parliament were instructed to collect the passport details of constituency chairpersons for processing and submission.
"The Presidency gave one slot to every constituency chairman to enable them travel and watch the World Cup matches. It further directed all MPs to collect the passport documents of the constituency chairmen and submit them to the government for processing," he stated.
Kobby alleged that although Chairman Ofosu Agyare submitted his passport details as requested, the documents were never forwarded for processing.
"Because of the hatred they have for Chairman Agyare, they failed to submit his passport documents, which are currently lying idle at the MP's house," he alleged.
He further claimed that the slot intended for the chairman was instead given to the MP's husband.
"She gave the slot to her husband, Yussif, who has travelled to watch the World Cup," he alleged.
Kobby also claimed that several constituency executives were excluded from the allocation process.
"I have served the party faithfully, yet I was not given the opportunity. The chairman was also denied the chance, while other MPs ensured that their constituency chairmen had their documents processed on time," he said.
According to him, the chairman personally submitted his passport after being contacted by the MP, but the process was never completed.
"The MP called the chairman to submit his passport, which he did. However, she failed to submit it. Whether that was the doing of Yussif, I cannot tell," he claimed.

"What kind of hatred would drive someone to do this to the chairman and deny him such an opportunity? We want to know what wrongdoing the chairman has committed to deserve this treatment," he added.
